Zoro's clash with the Best! Sanji's reason for fighting!
Terrified, that's the only description to the sight before everyone as they look at the Greatest Swordsman in the World.
"T-T-T-The bastard follow us!"
"We're doom!"
"I want my mommy!"
The Krieg Pirates were pussies at seeing him. In famous Deadpool's words; too bad they aren't wearing brown pants.
"Hold on, I don't see any kind of weapon on him." one of the cooks commented as he couldn't see the giant sword on his back.
"He carries his weapon on his back," said Zeff- Hey! I just explain that!
"What?! You mean he destroyed that fleet with nothing but a sword?! That's impossible!" it was an impossible feat.
"Not for Mihawk it isn't. He is without a doubt a true master, the greatest swordsman in the world." when Zoro hear those words, the blood inside him was clearly boiling in excitement.
"...Well?" Seth asked before pointing, "There he is Zoro, your dream is in front of you, go get it boy!" he said.
"Yeah! Go fetch your dream!" Luffy joins in.
"Good luck, Zoro! Don't fail us!" Usopp saluted.
"We believe in you Big Bro!" Johnny and Yosaku had flags with Zoro's name on it.
"Why are you guys treating me like a dog?!" the green haired yell at them with shark teeth.
Meanwhile, back with Mihawk, he looked bored at the Krieg Pirates, who only one demanded to know, "You damn monster! We've done nothing to you, so why the hell you doing this?!"
"...Just killing time," he replied.
"BASTARD!" The pirate whipped out his pistols and shot at Mihawk.
As the bullets sailed towards him, Mihawk drew his sword and ever so slightly moved it causing the bullets change paths. It happened so quickly that almost no one saw what he did.
"Wha...I miss?" the pirate was confused, even his companions were confused.
"No," all them look back and saw Zoro standing behind them while looking at the Musketeer. (XD) "He diverted them, changing the course of the bullets using the tip of his sword."
He walked towards Mihawk with a smirk on his face while the pirates around him noticed his three swords.
"I've never seen a sword handled so gently or with such grace," Zoro addressed Mihawk.
"A sword with no skill or technique is just an iron bar." the hawk man replied.
"Did you use that sword is carve up the ship too?"
"I did."
"Then it's true…. You are the best…. I set sail for only one reason; to meet you," Zoro said as he took his bandana off his arm to tie it around his head.
"And what is your goal?"
"To beat you."
"Heh, Foolish boy."
"You said you had spare time, so let's do this."
"N-no way. It's the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro!" one of them exclaimed. Now the pirates realized just who was challenging Mihawk to a duel.
"You're a weak fool," Mihawk said before he leaped over to the floating piece of the ship that Zoro was standing on. "If you're a competent swordsman, you should understand the difference between us even before you drew your blade. Why do you challenge me? Bravery, or stupidity?"
"Neither of them….Only my dream…" Zoro said as he places his white sword between his teeth and drew his two other swords. "That, and a promise I plan to fulfill."
Mihawk then took the tiny golden cross from his neck and unsheathed the tiny blade inside, confusing Zoro.
"What do you plan to do with that?" Zoro asked.
"This is more than enough to fight you, after all, you wouldn't kill a fly with a cannon, would you?" Mihawk said before saying, "Although you must forgive me."
"For what?"
"I'm afraid I don't have a much smaller knife to fight you with," Mihawk said with a pitying look.
TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!
Ooooooooooooooooh!
"You're gonna regret that." Zoro growl as he ran toward Hawk-Eye. "DIE!"
"Fool. You have no idea how big the world really is."
"ONIGIRI!" Zoro slashed Mihawk but was met with a startling scene. To his and everyone else's shock, all three swords were stopped by Mihawk's small blade.
"What the-"Zoro said, stunned.
"N-No way!" Yosaku said.
"I-I don't believe it!" Johnny said.
"Holy Shit! He stops all three of them!" Seth had widened eyes.
('I-I can't move my swords... No one's been able to defend against that technique, and he stopped it with a pocket knife! This can't be happening! There's no way he's this much better than me! Our skills can't be this far apart!') Zoro thought in a state of shock.
"NO! I AM NOT THAT FAR BEHIND THE WORLD'S STRONGEST!" With that defiant yell, Zoro started slashing wildly as Mihawk blocked every swing with calm precision, eventually knocking the Pirate Hunter to the ground.
"Come on, you just toying with him right, Big Bro!?" Yosaku called out desperately.
"Fight for real, Big Bro!" Johnny yelled just as desperately.
Zoro got up refusing to be defeated and attacked again. Yet no matter how much force he put into his attacks, Mihawk just kept parrying every move he made.
"Such ferocious swordplay," Mihawk commented as continued to block.
('I….did not…. devote my entire life to swordsmanship….. Just to be dispatched by a toy like this!') Zoro thought desperately.
Before long Mihawk completely dodged Zoro's slashes and retaliated with a chop to the neck, and all Zoro could do was think back to his old friend Kuina, whose death spurred Zoro to become the world's greatest swordsman for both of them. By this time Zoro had become winded and could barely stand up. He could not believe what was happening. It was a cold slap of reality as he began to realize just how big the gap between their powers was.
"What is the weight that you carry upon your shoulders?" Mihawk inquired. "Speak up, weakling."
"Hey, don't you dare call Big Bro weak!" Yosaku yelled in outrage.
"We'll show you!" Johnny yelled.
Before either of them could jump in, they were restrained and hold down by Luffy and Seth.
"Don't! This is his fight!" Luffy yelled, however, his face showed how much he wants to stop this.
Seth was in the same boat as him, "You two will stay here!"
The green haired slowly stood up from the ground, "No, I refuse to be defeated!" Zoro said as he prepared his next technique. "Tiger…Hunt!"
He swung his two hand swords down, but he completely missed. Not only that, he also ended up with Mihawk's knife jammed into his chest dangerously close to his heart. Blood dripped from the wound as well as out of his mouth.
Everybody was looking in shock at the scene…..But, Zoro never back away from it.
The Warlord notices it, "It appears that you have lost, yet you have not back away...Why?" he asked.
"Why?...I...Don't know…." Zoro eyes were dead serious, "But….If I back down now….My promise will be shattered….My honor will be lost….I'll never fight you again..."
"Yes….Is called defeat."
"Heh….I won't accept defeat..."
"And dying?"
"It's better than defeat..."
Mihawk stood there, thinking about the words this rookie, he removes the knife from his chest. "Boy….state your name."
"I am Roronoa Zoro."
"I'll remember it. No one as strong as you have come around in quite some time." With that, he grabbed the handle of the sword on his back and pulled it out. "So as a swordsman's courtesy, I'll finish you with Yoru, the world's strongest black sword."
"Thank you…. I appreciated..."
And so the two swordsmen took their stances and prepared their final attacks.
('This is it. It's either the world's strongest or death,') Zoro thought as he held his two hand swords perpendicular to each other while Mihawk prepared his attack.
This was it….the moment of truth… who will be the last swordsman standing?
"Please! Big Bro! Stop!" the pirate hunter duo pleads to their idol.
"Zoro stop! Please!" Usopp was scared for the swordsman well being.
"Three Swords Style…." Zoro began as twirled his swords in opposite directions as Mihawk charged at him.
"FALL!"
"…THREE THOUSAND WORLDS!"
They clashed and all was silent for about five seconds… then Zoro's hand swords snapped! Blood flew from the gash created from Mihawk's sword…
It was clear as day….Roronoa Zoro has been utterly defeated.
('I...lost….') he dropped his broken swords and sheathed the sword in his mouth. ('Never in my life...I thought I would lose….By the strength of the Greatest Swordsman in the world…')
Zoro stood up and turned to face Mihawk with his arm spread wide.
"What are you doing?" Mihawk asked.
Zoro forms a smirk, "A scar on the back is a swordsman shame."
"Well said."
That's when Mihawk slashed Zoro, creating a massive gash on his that blood poured out of onto the deck. He slowly fell down to the water.
"ZOROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Luffy yelled so loud, a powerful shock wave came out of him, surrounding the area. Several pirates began to fell unconscious to the ground. Catching both Mihawk and Zeff's attention.
('Conqueror's Haki?! In the East Blue!') they both though.
Meanwhile, Sanji couldn't understand this, ('He knew he was outmatched...so why?!') "YOU MORON! You should've given up!"
"Damn you!" Luffy shout and ready throw his rubber punch, when Seth grab him.
"Control dammit! We promise to accept the outcome!" the lion said as his control both his and Luffy's rage.
Mihawk turn to them, "Are you all that warrior's comrade? I'm impressed with you for not interfering," he said. "There's nothing to be upset about, your friend is alive."
With that, Johnny and Yosaku had emerged from the water, helping an injured Zoro out as they place him in the boat. Luffy calms down a bit as Seth released the hold on him.
"My name is Dracule Mihawk! It's too soon for you to die! You're strong but there is much for you to learn! You must experience the world and hone your skills! However long it may take, I will wait at the top as the strongest in the world! Surpass this sword! Surpass me, Roronoa Zoro!"
A shocking moment, the Greatest Swordsman in the World has shown his respect to the Pirate Hunter and not just anyone can earn the regards of 'Hawk-Eye' Mihawk.
The Musketeer look at the rubber and lion boy, "Boy...what's your dream?"
"King of the Pirates."
"And you boy?"
"The Strongest Beast in all the Sea."
"...Both of your ambitions are far dangerous than your friend," Mihawk said with a grin of his own.
"We can make it!" Both of them answer him.
Usopp shouted, "He's alive!"
Johnny and Yosaku were yelling to him, "Big Bro! Say something to us!"
"...L...Luffy…" Zoro spoke with a pained voice. He slowly raised his white sword up at the sky, "Can...Can you hear me…?"
"Zoro, I hear you!" Luffy responds to him.
"I'm sorry for disappointing you... I know that you need nothing less and the greatest swordsman in the world…. I've let you down…. Please forgive me."
"Please Big Bro, stop talking!" Yosaku pleaded as Zoro coughed up blood.
Tears began to flow from Zoro's eyes.
"I solemnly swear….from this moment forward… that I will never lose again! Until the day comes, when I defeat him and take his title…I WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!" his promise to both his friend and captain start here. "IS THAT OKAY…KING OF THE PIRATES!?"
The rubber idiot could only smile at his swordsman vow, "It sure is!"
('They make a great team together…I hope to meet them again.') Mihawk turns around and began to walk away.
"Hold on Mihawk," comes the voice of Krieg from behind him. "I thought you came here for me….Weren't you here to kill Don Krieg, Ruler of the East Blue?"
"The thought had crossed my mind, but I've had enough fun for today so I'm going home."
"Funny," Krieg said as he cracked his neck. "Because I haven't had enough!" His men were shouting at him to reconsider, but he ignored it as he pulled out his arsenal from his armor and attack Mihawk. "DIE!"
"You don't learn, do you?" Mihawk asked as he grabbed his sword and in a full swing, made a cloud dust and disappear from sight.
"Tch! Miss!" Krieg scowled.
Luffy and Seth stood with cooks on the other side.
"Usopp!" Luffy shouted. "Go on ahead! I'll leave Nami to you!"
"You got it!" Usopp yelled as he waved his hands around. "Zoro and I will get her back, so don't worry! Just get that cook to join us! Then, we can all set sail for the Grand Line!"
"All so, whatever you do, don't make something stupid," Seth yelled, "At least until I get there!"
"Got it!" Usopp said as he, Zoro, Johnny and Yosaku sail away.
…
..
.
The Krieg pirates were getting ready to attack as Zeff looked at the two boys, "Not going with your friends?"
"I've got unfinished business here," Luffy said with a grin.
"And if he's staying, so am I," Seth respond, as he points at Luffy, "Besides, someone needs to overwatch this moron."
"I see…. So, you said you aim to be King of the Pirates?" Zeff asked.
"That's right," Luffy said.
"I've seen many pirates in my day," Zeff said with a smirk. "But you're the first to state your desire with a doubt."
"Yeah!"
At the same time in the ruined galleon ship, Krieg had just shot another man who had voiced fear about meeting more people like Mihawk on the Grand Line.
"Do you fools really think an ordinary man could cut up a ship like that!? He must've had a Devil Fruit!" Krieg claimed.
"A Devil Fruit?"
"Here in the East Blue, those who have Devil Fruit powers are rare and legendary, but on the Grand Line, those power won't be special. However, that log book Zeff has must have a secret on defeating those freaks. So we'll take it along with that ship and learn that secret."
"Wow Don, you're a genius," one pirate said.
"Yeah, you're brilliant!"
"More like dumber than Buggy," Seth said, earning a laugh from Luffy.
"WHAT YOU SAY BRAT?!"
"THE TRUTH! A LOG BOOK WILL CHANGE NOTHING!"
Just then, the fins of the restaurant came up and the cooks prepare themselves as the pirate's charge at them. Luffy grabs on at the railing as Seth grabs his waist and pulls him back, stretching his arms in the process.
"Let's go!" Seth stops pulling and let go of Luffy who shot forward with arms still stretched out, "Gum-Gum Giant Scythe!" he clotheslines several pirates away.
"Incoming!" Seth began to roll into a ball, "Beast Roll!" his spinning form shot like a cannon, ramming through pirates like bowling pins.
"Wow!"
"Good job kids!"
The cooks comment as Krieg snarl, seeing all his men getting owned by two kids, noticing the straw hat boys power, "A Devil Fruit user…"
"You'll never get this restaurant, you pirate scum!"
"That's right! You ingrates are in for it now!"
Just then, the fish head detached from the rest of the restaurant to reveal that it was, in fact, a small battleship called the Mackerel Head I, piloted by none other than Patty and Carne.
"Da faq? Did the head just pop out?" Seth asked, holding down a pirate.
"So cool!" Luffy had stars in his eyes while he hangs on a destroyed mast.
The two cooks paddled the ship towards the wrecked galleon the fired the three cannons inside the fish head's mouth, taking down several pirates. The cooks cheered them on as they continued firing until they focused their attention on Krieg himself.
"Krieg, say your prayers!" Patty yelled.
The three cannons were fired directly at Krieg but when the smoke cleared Krieg was still standing, his armor had protected him! He then grabbed the front of the ship with his hand, stopping it dead in its tracks and lifting it out of the water.
"Epic Fail!" Seth comment before dodging a sword and punch the wielder with his fist.
"I AM DON KRIEG! HOW DARE FIRE AT ME!? GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!" Krieg yelled as he threw the Mackerel Head, hurling it towards the Baratie.
"I don't believe this! How is he so strong!?" Patty yelled.
"Oh, no! It's headed right for us!" one of the cooks exclaimed.
The small boat commenced getting close to the cooks. Sanji, however, look relax and puff some smoke out. He then jumps in the air and shouts, "Collider Shoot!" beforekicking the ship, sending it into the expanded deck and shocking everyone even Krieg.
"One kick?! He stopped the thing with one kick?!" Seth exclaimed in surprised.
"Awesome! I now want him to join my crew even more!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Tch! He's just another Devil Fruit user…" Krieg mutter.
Meanwhile, Patty and Carne had gotten out of their ship and started yelling at Sanji.
"WHAT THE HELL SANJI!? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US!?"
"Whatever, just get ready to fight because we've got company," Sanji said coolly.
Sure enough, many of the Krieg Pirates had made it to the deck and were ready to fight. All the cooks were on the floor, they were utterly defeated, their forks and knives broken as the pirates laughed in their faces.
"What the hell guys!? How could you let them beat you so easily?" Carne yelled.
"These guys…are different. T-there completely different from the pirates we've fought before."
"Fools, we're the Krieg Pirates; don't you dare compare us with your average pirates. Now die!" one pirate said before Patty slams his spoon in his face.
"Keep talking, give me more reasons to stuff your face with today's special; Soup of Pain!" Patty shout as he and Carne, with a big fork, began to beat the shit out of the Krieg Pirates, they were so into it, they never notice a person behind them, but it was too late as they got slammed down.
"Prrrrresenting! Pearl the Invincible Shield!" shouted a new voice.
It was a man encased in two giant shields with pearls in the middle. He also had gauntlets, knee pads and elbow shields with the same design. Lay man's term-
"Oh great, another weirdo." Seth sweat at the guys custom.
"Pearl! Right on time!" the Krieg Pirates began to cheer at the man name Pear.
"Hey! That's a nice knife. I think I'll take it!" one pirate said as he was about to reach Patty's kitchen knife before Sanji came and kick him hard in the chest.
"Don't you dare touch your filthy hands in a kitchen knife! That's the soul of all chef!" he yells at them as he looks at Pearl with murderous intent. "Come on big guy, I'll kick you into next Thursday!"
"Hahaha! You can't beat me, my shields are impenetrable! In all of the sixty-one fights I've been in, I've never lost even one drop of blood! Not even a Marine's cannon could penetrate-"
He didn't finish as Seth jump in his head, Mario style, making him feel pain, and Luffy, who was sent back by Krieg's attack, bump into him, causing a nosebleed.
"Few...That was close." Luffy sighs.
"You tell me," Seth commented.
Meanwhile, the Krieg Pirates look in terror, in Krieg's case grit his teeth, as Pearl place a hand on his nose and look at his blood in shock.
"I'm….bleeding?...These guys are dangerous!" Pear scream out.
"Pearl! Calm down! It's just a nosebleed!" one of the pirates said as others tried to keep Pearl calm.
"He's crying over a nosebleed?" Sanji said in a bored tone as Luffy picked his nose and Seth sweat drop at it.
Pearl just kept freaking out, clanging his gauntlets together saying "I'm in danger! I'm in danger!" over and over again.
"Stop it, Pearl, do you want to burn down the whole restaurant?!" Krieg yelled.
"Wait, What!?" Patty yelled.
Suddenly, Pearl burst into flames from head to toe and began attacking everything in his path. "NOW I'M TRULY INVINCIBLE! FIRE PEARL'S SPECIAL ATTACK!" he throws several fireballs around the fins, commencing a wall of fire. Forcing the pirates and the cooks to throw themselves into the ocean.
Sanji simply jumps over the fire and stomp Pearl's head, spooking the shield man.
"What?! But this fire scares everyone away!" Pearl cried.
"If I was afraid of fire, I couldn't be a cook," Sanji said with a smirk.
"Ah! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!" Luffy was running around with a small fire in his ass.
"Idiot! Stop running so I can put it out!" Seth yelled while carrying a bucket of water and following him.
Krieg took the moment to take out his spiky ball chain, "I have no choice. Either break the deck or let the restaurant burn."He then threw the spiked ball directly at Pearl and Sanji, neither of whom could get out of the way.
Luckily, Luffy jump in the way and threw his hands backward, "Gum-Gum Bazooka!" his hand came forward, colliding with the ball. Sending it back to a shocked Krieg and a ruined galleon mast, which fell flat onto Pearl's head, knocking him out cold.
"He...did all this..." Sanji was surprised at the straw hats strength.
"Hot! Hot! Hot!" Luffy continued to yell with fire.
"Hold still, dammit!" Seth managed to stop Luffy and dump water in his fried pants.
"Ghrk!"
A voice of pain made everyone look back, only to see, and anger the cooks, Gin back to his feet with Zeff on the ground, pointing a flintlock to his head.
"Move and he dies." Gin said in a cold voice. The Krieg Pirates cheered for their commander."You should've just left the ship." he said as Sanji look at the head chef.
"What are you doing down there geezer?" Sanji said. He and Zeff insulted each other before Sanji looked at Gin. "Point that at me Gin! Leave the old man out of this!"
"...I can't do that, Sanji." Gin said. "I'm sorry, but this is how we fight."
"That's right," the voice of Pearl spoke from behind Sanji, "If you want to die so badly, I'll be more than happy to oblige," he said with a sadistic smile. "Absolutely Natural Pearl Surprise!"
Pearl punched Sanji with the full force of his pearl shield, drawing blood and sending the blonde cook hurling into the railing of the restaurant.
"SANJI!" Luffy yelled at the cook.
"And you call idiot Zoro! Why didn't you dodge!?" Seth asked him.
"Because….if I did….Gin would have killed geezer..." Sanji explained.
Gin didn't understand anything, he could just ask himself the same thing, "Why…..Why are you doing this? What is it about this place that means so much to you?" he inquired.
Sanji managed to stand up, blood going down his forehead, "...This restaurant….is the old man's life….. It's all he has left…... I've taken away…... everything else he holds dear….. His power, his dream, because of me….. he lost his life as a pirate!" he could still remember that day….when he realized all the geezer had to do for him, a simple baby eggplant as he says.
His crew….gone…
His leg….chop off and eaten….
All the food…..gave it to a kid that threaten him like shit….
He gave up everything…..only for him….
"Stupid brat," Zeff muttered out.
"That's….why I will….defend this place….EVEN IF IT COST MY LIFE!" Sanji declared.
"Hahaha! What a stupid thing to say!" Pearl laugh at the blonde's motive, "Let me do a favor and kill you right now!" he shouts as he throws another shield punch at Sanji, and then another, and then another.
However, Luffy clenched his teeth hard, "THAT'S IT!" Seth immediately moves out of the way as his captain stretch his leg up into the air.
"TACTICAL NUKE! INCOMING!"
"GUM-GUM….BATTLE AXE!"
Luffy brought his leg down with enormous speed, follow up by a CRASH, destroying much of the deck everyone was standing on. Everyone lost their balance and ending up either on their knees or in the ocean. Needless to say, the cooks were not the least bit pleased, especially Sanji who grabbed Luffy by the shirt and lifted him in the air.
"You bastard! What the hell are you trying to do!?" he angrily asked.
"Isn't obvious?" Luffy simply responds neutral, "I'm sinking this ship."
"WHAT?!" everybody was shocked at the straw hat boy, except Seth and Zeff, who had a smirk on his face.
NO WAY! You will not sink this restaurant!" Sanji yelled. "Do you have any idea how much I own Zeff?! Do you?!" he demanded an answer.
And he got it….. By Seth, punching him in the face. The blonde hit the floor hard as everyone looks in shock at the auburn-haired action.
The cook stood up with more blood on his forehead before the lion grabs him by the collar, "You're right….we don't know how much you own him…. But dying for this will never make up for it!" Sanji's eyes widened as he saw Seth's eyes turns into lion's pupil, "If you haven't noticed how you can repay him, then you're more stupid than Luffy!"
"Yeah! He didn't save you so that you can throw your life away!" Luffy shouted.
Meanwhile, Pearl took the chance of distraction of the three of them, "You fools should pay more attention to your surroundings. Now take this!"
Finally, Sanji, Seth, and Luffy looked up and saw Pearl about to punch them with his pearl shield. But just before the attack hit-
"Move it, Pearl."
Pearl was struck by a powerful force, causing both of his shields to shatter. Everyone stared wide-eyed and face-faulted, shocked at who had just put Pearl down for good: none other than Gin, who had two tonfa's in his hands.
Krieg snarl at this sudden action, "Gin! What are you doing attacking your own shipmates?! Did you lost your mind?!"
"I know that Don….. I'm sorry," Gin said. "But Sanji saved my life. The least I can do is take him out myself. I owe him that much. Please, Don….." Krieg stared at Gin before he sat down on the wreckage of his ship.
"Fine," Krieg said. "You take out that cook and the kid in the straw hat." The Krieg pirates then started yelling about how Gin was Chief Commander of Krieg's armada. How he was a strong, cold hearted Demon.
('Demon?') someone though as they look a Gin.
"'Demon-Man' Gin…. That's my name," Gin said before pointing his tonfa at the three of them. "I was hoping that you leave this ship, but I guess I have to do this the hard way….Sorry Sanji, I'm just following orders."
Sanji lit a cigarette, "I see…. But if you want this restaurant, then you're gonna have to kill me first."
"Sounds fair." Gin said. "It'll be an honor...my friend."
"Hold it!"
The two of them look at Seth walk and stood in front of Sanji, crossing his hands together, "Sounds good and all….but don't forget Gin, I'm the first one that helps you out."
It took a full minute for the commander to hardened his eyes, "Kid….Are you challenging me?"
The lion smirk, "You got it."
"Move aside boy, this is my-" Sanji spoke up only for Seth to punch him in the stomach.
"I'm doing you a favor, so shut up and let me do my work," Seth said as he motioned to Luffy, who drag Sanji away.
"Are you sure you want to fight me, kid?" Gin asked.
"Yep, although, before we begin, tell me," Seth look at the commander with a serious look, "Are you really a demon?"
"...Make no mistake, I don't take pleasure in killing others…. But, I will show no mercy." Gin's eyes turn dark.
"...Good! Because now, I only have one question in my mind," Seth said with his eyes closed.
The dark demon raised an eyebrow, "And that is?"
"...Which one is a real monster?" Seth opens his eyes, once again in lion's pupil, "The Demon…." his hands change to his lion ones, his hair grew longer, his ears came out, and his tail pop out. "...Or The Beast?"
Sorry guys, looks like this arc in going to be three chapters.
